My FB lit up with American conservatives and Monarchists, yes they do exist, crying over her death. There are good reasons the woman is hated by a large percentage of UK residents.

She shat on the working class.

Sold off all the council houses so that working class families can't get decent housing these days and are forced to rent from Slumlords at high prices

Sold off the Utility Companies to Private owners so that now pensioners freeze to death in winter because they can't afford the expensive fuel prices charged by these profit-hungry monstrosity companies.

Stopped free school milk

Poll Tax/Council Tax (making everyone pay a huge chunk of their income to the Local Authority in Tax with no regard as to their ability to pay this)

Decimated our Heavy Industries costing millions of jobs - at the height of her power there were 3 million unemployed!!

She also broke the Act of Union by introducing the Poll Tax in Scotland a year before the rest of the UK, not that anyone bothered at the time.

"Lady Thatcher had become increasingly frail in recent years following a series of small strokes in 2001 and 2002.Her daughter Carol also revealed in 2008 that she had been diagnosed with dementia, which had increasingly affected her memory for the last decade.[...]Lady Thatcher published two volumes of memoirs. The first, The Downing Street Years (1993), covered her time as Prime Minister, while the second volume, The Path to Power (1995), concerned her early life. She also published a magisterial volume on international affairs, Statecraft (2002)."

The third one was to be called"Who the fuck is THAT ? And what fucking year is it anyway?"

I never heard the support of Apartheid part. I mainly read of some of her negative qualities from Roger Waters and Peter Shaffer (Amadeus). Oh, and Gerald Scarfe's cartoons of her are vicious and awesome.I Knew she had a reputation for being imperious and condescending, that some questioned her actions in the Falklands, and that she tended to not do well with the lower classes. That's all I've read and heard, but I don't know enough about her life to make a full assessment of her. It is rather eerie that she should have memory problems like Reagan.

Meanwhile, I just checked about the Apartheid part. This article claims that it was otherwise.

'...all those who took part in the rise and fall of the Dune project learned how to fall one and one thousand times with savage obstinacy until learning how to stand. I remember my old father who, while dying happy, said to me: "My son, in my life, I triumphed because I learned how to fail."' -Alejandro Jodorowsky
